Work Arrangements (hereinafter, the Lectio) is the second lesson part of the Nature of Work lesson that introduces its participants to work characteristics and related topics.

This lesson belongs to the Introduction to Employment session of the EmployableU Concepts.


Content

The predecessor lectio is Work Characteristics.

Script

Work arrangement is an agreement, usually an employment agreement, to arrange employees's work schedule, method, or workload. Some arrangements such as a compressed workweek, flextime, telecommuting, and job sharing touch both job characteristics and work-life fit.
A compressed workweek is a workweek where employees work longer hours per day but fewer days per week. Instead of eight hours a day for five days, the compressed workweek often is ten hours per day for four days.
Flextime represents flexible work hours. Employees are required to work a specific number of hours a week, but are free to vary those hours within certain limits.
Telecommuting is work from a remote location. Routinely, an employee works remotely at least 2 days a week on a computing device that is linked to the software systems that the employer controls.
Job sharing is the arrangement that allows two or more individuals to split a full-time job.

Key terms

Work arrangement, compressed workweek, flextime, telecommuting, job sharing
